My family and I tried Sushi 805 while visiting the Pismo Beach area, and we all really enjoyed it. They offer all-you-can-eat sushi and Korean BBQ, and the all-you-can-eat option is definitely worth it if you have a good appetite. (805 Sake Sushi) My husband went with the all-you-can-eat menu and loved it. I chose to order individually because I'm on a high-protein diet and wanted more sashimi and rolls without as much rice. I ordered the 15-piece sashimi, and it was outstanding. The fish tasted fresh, the portion was surprisingly filling, and it was absolutely worth it. If you're looking for lower-carb or higher-protein options, ordering à la carte may actually make more sense since a lot of the all-you-can-eat sushi selections are naturally more rice-heavy. One tip if you're bringing kids with smaller appetites: consider ordering them a single roll instead of paying for the kids' all-you-can-eat option. My daughter ordered just one roll and couldn't even quite finish it, so the all-you-can-eat price wouldn't have made sense for her. Overall, everyone left happy and full. My husband loved the all-you-can-eat experience, I loved being able to get exactly what I wanted with the sashimi, and the kids enjoyed their food too. Definitely a great option if you're in the Pismo Beach/Grover Beach area and craving sushi or Korean BBQ. read more

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience. The staff was friendly and provided good service, which I appreciated, but the food was very disappointing. The biggest issue was the sushi rice. The rice in the nigiri was overly mushy, while the rice in several rolls contained hard, crunchy pieces that seemed undercooked. The seasoning was also off, with so much vinegar that the rice tasted noticeably sour. I've eaten sushi in many different places and have a wide range of experiences to compare it to, and this was among the poorest quality sushi I've had. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience fell well below expectations. While the staff was kind and welcoming, I would not return or recommend this restaurant based on the quality of the food. read more

So we went back for a second round. This time it was not so good. My wife's sushi roll didn't seem very fresh. She was not pleased. Also the cucumber salad seem like it was a couple days old. Soggy, not very good tasting. My ramen on the other hand was normal. Great service as usual, but something just seemed off. Im hoping it was just a fluke because really used to like this place. Bummer. read more

I really like this place. It's small but not too small to accommodate a mobility scooter. The staff is great, the service quick and efficient, the sake warm, the beer cold, and the edamame came warm to start. My wife had the Beef Yakisoba, which she really enjoyed. She complimented the rice, too, which is a good indicator of the quality of the rest of the menu. I had a Spider Roll and a Crab and Shrimp Hand Roll. Here was the weak point of the restaurant, the rolls were sort of bland, none of the complex layers of flavor I'm used to in sushi, and the seafood had that fishy smell that made one think it just wasn't fresh. Aside from that the experience was really nice. 6/10, I'd come back next time in town. read more

Great food and great service. Decided to pick up some lunch before we entered the dunes. We ordered while still on the highway and once we arrived our food was ready. All wrapped up with utensils and sauces. Restaurant is a cozy little spot. Nothing flashy, just a good sushi spot. Rolls were fresh and cold which I appreciated. Rice was so good too! Thank you!! read more

AYCE, 50$. Most of the rolls are imitation crab, lots of cream cheese, lots of rice. Nigiri (Sushi) Thinly sliced with lots of rice. The slices are almost see through and the quality is no good. read more

We came here for a bachelor party trip with a large party and got all you can eat. First thing, the service is exceptional. Handling a large party with a bunch of guys on a bachelor trip can be tough but they handled it great. The manager was super helpful in helping us reserve the space even though it is a smaller establishment. This is getting low rating as the fish didn't seem the highest quality and the rolls weren't the greatest flavor. I'm understanding that it's an AYCE option but some of the rolls did not sit greatly with a lot of our party. Overall, the service was great and it was a cool little space for sushi read more

Went here towards the end of a long night. The staff was awesome! Its pretty small inside. The food was great. The bulgolgi came out in a huge portion on a sizzling plate! Will definitely be back! read more

Just under $50 for person, half price for kids, this restaurant is a good to place if visiting Pismo Beach or traveling along 101. The atmosphere inside is small but able to accommodate small and large party. The waitstaff quickly sat us at a table. The chose to have the all you can eat.

I have been here 3 times and soon to be 4. It's a lil expensive for an all you can eat, but it's sushi and worth it! Do not get the all you can eat if your appetite isn't there. The service is great and you get food quick. It's also very good sushi and there's other items, so you can mix it up! There is plenty of space to sit whatever size group you have. It's also a great place for conversations. read more

Sushi 805 - All you can eat menu... - Japanese Near Me - Grover Beach, California

It's AYCE but they have a regular menu as well. I was a little skeptical about this place because they offer Korean items on the menu as well but this ended up being a great spot for dinner. We opted for the regular menu since we were just looking for a couple rolls to share. The sushi tastes fresh, the rolls are rolled big and tight, with appropriate rice to filling ratios. They come out beautifully presented, which is always appreciated. We couldn't help but give the sashimi a try. It's chef's choice, and he blessed with us nice thick cuts of tuna, salmon, escolar and seared albacore. I am a salmon girl, but I gotta say escolar may be my new fav! Prices are good, especially for the area. Parking lot is tiny af, so you'll likely need to find street parking. The staff are nice and accommodating too! read more

Came in for girl's night dinner during a busy rush and still got seated right away. Service was quick, attentive, and super helpful without feeling rushed. We ordered an appetizer, three rolls (fresh, baked, and specialty), plus soju and sake, and everything hit. The fresh roll was clean and buttery, the baked roll was rich and comforting, and the specialty roll had great balance and texture. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and presentation was solid. Great quality, great value, and a super reliable sushi spot in Grover Beach. Would absolutely come back! read more

*Visited Tuesday, Sept 24th 2024 - around 6pm :-) I've been coming here with my boyfriend for a few years now, and the only reason we do is for their AYCE menu - I believe they're the only spot with AYCE sushi available. The restaurant is part of Downtown Grover Beach, and has a private parking lot or you can park on the curb (as of 9/2024 you can't park on the curb since the road is currently under construction!). The restaurant itself is cozy and spacious, however looks to be a little bit on the older side. Their staff is pretty kind, however it seems like they're understaff as I've noticed that there's usually only two staff working the floor while also trying to manage their online orders. Huge kudos to their staff for being very flexible despite being spread thin. OKAY THE FOOD: * Their AYCE menu is about $45 per person which isn't terrible but still a bit on the pricey end. They do have a regular menu for those who aren't interested in all you can eat. * Their baked green mussels are a great appetizer option, and I definitely recommend it if you like baked mussels * Their chicken teriyaki is probably my favorite out of all of the teriyaki & bbq options - it's simple and a perfect portion * You can't go wrong with their nigiri options (under Sushi 2 pcs)- my favs are salmon, ikura, fresh water eel and their yellowtail * We've tried most of their rolls, and they're not bad at all. I prefer eel in my rolls and try to get fresh rolls, but you really can't go wrong with most of their rolls here. Definitely come here if you plan on satisfying a sushi craving or if you want to challenge yourself with an AYCE menu. There's some other great sushi restaurants in Grover beach to try as well! Happy eating :-) read more

Sushi 805 provided an AYCE sushi option. Basically, you have three rounds to order as much as you can with price point of $50 per person. I ordered all ngiri with some appetizers as well. It was such a fun experience! However, I did get full by the first round already. Also, you have to finish everything or else you pay full price for whatever is left on the table. While it was a fun experience, I believe that the quality of the fish wasn't the best. The fish and rice ratio was also unbalance - there was too much rice in each. The eel ngiri was tough and hard to chew, the octopus ngiri has a weird taste to it, the scallop ngiri was not what I was expecting and the flavor was not good overall. My favorite ngiri was the yellowtail! I would definitely get more of those. But honestly speaking, I think there are better sushi restaurants around. read more

We used to order from them all the time. Recently we ordered and the cucumber salad was sour and gone bad. And they forgot to give us a main dish: ChapGae. We spoke to Mei, and she was terrible. She doesn't care about the regulars, we got a refund for the chapege and a "who cares" about the salad. Also a "who cares" about how awful to not get your main entre. Better if they apologized and gave us a free chapege next time, or just something to say regulars matter. Anyway, go order from Izakaya or Yamoto...just up the street and food is awesome Thats where we will be from now on. read more

Ordered take out after a busy workday and really enjoyed their food. Their have online ordering through their website as well as DoorDash. I got the Crunch Spicy Tuna roll, and my husband got the Beef Bulgogi - both were delicious! Their hand cut roll selection is VERY reasonably priced for the portion/quality, and was exactly what I was craving. The beef was tender and came with onions and fresh kimchi on the side. Wish I had taken pictures but we were starving! We will certainly be back though. read more

We have been loyal customers for years and I hope nothing changes in the future!! Food is delicious and generous. Have never sampled the All You Can Eat Menu, but the food looks amazing. My go to's are the Japanese curry with pork cutlet, yellowtail collar, bacon kim chee fried rice and the pork belly. Service is always great, very friendly staff and restaurant is clean. I highly recommend and think you'll be impressed. read more

Beware of all-you-can-eat be sure to know the details first. Although we felt we understood we still ended up paying for it. Which was fine but in our unique situation we got there I think an hour before they closed almost a little over they allowed us to order food. We did not get the time we needed. What I mean is the solution could have been in reality not allowing us to get all-you-can-eat since we did not get the allotted time to use it. Unless you like to hurry and eat your food. Our waitress and waiter were amazing but the kitchen dropped the ball they did not care about the customer experience. We also enjoyed the art and lights. read more

Unfortunately, I have to leave a negative review. The staff were kind, hardworking, and provided excellent customer service, which I truly appreciated. However, the quality of the food was very disappointing. We chose the all-you-can-eat option, which cost around $50 per person. Sadly, it was not worth the price. They do offer à la carte options, such as individual rolls, and I would recommend trying those instead. The quality might be better when ordering that way. The all-you-can-eat format allows for three rounds of ordering. You're expected to finish everything you select or risk being charged extra, so it's important to order carefully. Unfortunately, everything we tried from the all-you-can-eat menu either lacked flavor or tasted off. Much of it seemed cheap, stale, or made from leftover ingredients, like end pieces and lower-quality cuts that needed to be used up. Most of what we ordered was dried out and mediocre at best, and at worst, it was tolerable. Sadly, we were also very hungry. I stuck to cooked items only, and even those were disappointing. I was honestly surprised the person I was with didn't end up feeling sick. The restaurant itself was clean, and the service was great again. It's unfortunate that the food quality didn't match the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff., read more

Before we ordered dinner from here last week, we would have rated their food as a 5 star. We have always gone here for lunch, and ordered their bento boxes. This time, we ordered dinner - teriyaki and some mixed tempura. We were both very disappointed in this meal and it didn't taste as good as their bento boxes. We always order our food to go, so can't make any comments on service or decor. read more

Stopped in on a whim because I was craving a teriyaki bowl., and I wasn't disappointed. Friendly service and a lot of food!

We had a large group of 10 people and were seated pretty quickly the staff made sure we were all comfortable with our seating and even offered multiple ways to accommodate us! They had a fun screen behind us playing music videos and the vibe was just so fun and casual! There's an all you can eat option for 45$ or you can just get separate dishes! The fish was super fresh and yummy and the specialty sushi was SOOO mouthwatering. I especially enjoyed the Hawaiian and Las Vegas rolls!! Great experience! read more

The staff was kind and the food is delicious, but would never do all you can eat again. For two people, the tab came out to $115 which we expected but we feel we didn't get our money's worth. We love ordering sushi rolls like salmon and seared tuna, but they put so so much rice on the bottom so that we would fill up on the first round. We took a look around and other peoples sushi didn't have as much rice as ours. They have it posted at the top of the menu you are not allowed to leave rice leftover so it just felt intentional that our rolls were made like that. Delicious but not worth it for all you can eat. read more

This is my go to on days that other sushi spots are closed. The service is usually good and they always have some interesting music playing.

Not expecting as good of an experience as we had. It was a Sunday and it was 2:15. There was 2 servers and they were running their butts off as it was so busy. The sushi was great. We got some Tempura ice cream which was unusually good. Fried rice to go. We will be back read more

The place was clean and fun! The service staff were very attentive. The food was great and the portions were large!

Food: the rolls were delicious. Some of the sushi we had were fishy which was disappointing but the others were perfectly fine like the tuna, salmon, shrimp, fresh water eel and octopus. The appetizers were delicious! We had the takoyaki, baked mussels, cucumber salad, crispy rice with tuna (a new favorite)! The ramen and miso soup was also yummy! Service: it was great! Our server was pleasant and attentive! Happily refilled our drinks and asked if everything was okay. We didn't feel rushed which is always a plus. Ambiance: it wasn't that busy when we went so it wasn't too loud. We can still hear our own conversations. Clean tables and chairs. Menu was easy to read. No foul odors lol. Nov 2022 the AYCE price was 39.95. Pricey but for what you get it's fair. Come with a group and a big appetite when doing AYCE but they also do offer single orders or a la carte. Highly recommend eating in person than ordering through doordash. read more

Sushi 805 - Original Ramen with chicken - Japanese Near Me - Grover Beach, California

Local Take: Get your Korean fix here! What many tourists and even some locals do not fully appreciate is that in this area, many of the Sushi places are owned, staff, and run by people of Korean descent. In general, this is why you can frequently find some fair to good Korean eats at these places. While many purists can complain that there are not many choices or it is not the best, it is far better than nothing. This area does not support many ethnic foods for some reason, and while we have a relatively huge number of Thai places, a sprinkling of American Chinese places, and some rare examples of other ethnic foods [i.e. Vietnamese, Pseudo-Hawaiian (which incorporates several cultures], Filipino, & a few others], by no means do we have as many choices as in some major Metro areas, such as LA/OC or SF Bay area. As far as the Sushi here, I really do not bother with it, and almost always get the sizzling Korean platter dish or some other Korean dish. Is it on the scale of the best of Korean eats in Hawaii, or even a little Korean town in Manhattan....no, but it kind of hits the spot and is filling. The service at 805 for Korean food is excellent, and as far as I can tell, most, if not all the staff are likely ethnic Koreans, so they can do a good job of explaining the Korean dishes, and even bring out some hot chilli oil for extra spiciness. I brought a local Mixteco friend who loves real spicey eats, and he was quite pleased with the eats, plus the extra chilli oil. I think it was his first time eating Korean food and he not only liked it, he also liked the Japanese beer selection. Can one ethnicity make decent to excellent ethnic food of another ethnicity? Yes of course, we eat literally tons of so-called Italian food all over, and only a very few immigrants from Italy are cooking it. In fact, the most common line cooks in our area are Mexican, and often they do a fine job. In fact, one of my favorite Sushi places has great Mexican cooks in the back kitchen, but what else is new? One of the best Pizza places that I found in Hawaii, when I lived there were Vietnamese. Closer to home, both my BIL's own, cook, and run two Japanese Ramen Noodle places, and they also offer some fine Chinese food on their menus. If one really looks carefully on what may not be obvious on either the menu, the specials, or even not on the menu, one may find some real treats that one may not expect. In any case, 805 is a winner for at least Korean eats and Japanese beer. In general, the Korean choices are tasty, filling, and even on the healthy side, if ordered with veges, and maybe Tofu. read more
